Applications Website (Boilerplate)

Simple project showcasing a Python backend (FastAPI) and a JavaScript frontend for tracking job applications.

Quick start (macOS):

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python "applicationsWebsite.py"
# then open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in a browser

Files added:

• applicationsWebsite.py — FastAPI backend and static-file server
• static/index.html — frontend UI
• static/app.js — frontend JS interacting with /api/applications
• static/styles.css — basic styling
• requirements.txt — Python dependencies

Notes:

• This uses an in-memory store. For persistence, replace the store with a database (SQLite/Postgres) and update the endpoints accordingly.
• This project now uses SQLite for persistence (file: applications.db) via sqlmodel.
• To reset data, delete the applications.db file in the project folder.
• To deploy, consider a process manager (systemd, Docker, or a cloud service) and configure CORS/HTTPS as needed.
